The first royal statue restored in bets, after the Revolution and the Empire, was the one of Henri IV, chosen because of the affection which a majority of the population carried to the founder of the dynasty of Bourbons. A popular subscription was even thrown to finance the command of the monument. A temporary work welcomed Louis XVIII on the bridge in May, 1814.
